$1500 for a Month of Bandwdith DAMN!
There was a note next to a new PayPal button on GameGirl Advance.
Emergency GGA Bandwidth Drive
A recent popular story drove our costs up more than we'd anticipated. We've taken steps to try to cut down on bandwidth usage, but for the month of November we could be out $1500. Yikes! So for a limited time we've decided to ask if you readers who've enjoyed the site could chip in to keep GGA afloat via PayPal. Thanks!
It looks like the review of Rez Transvibe device that Jane did that put them on the Blogdex resulted in an insane bill for bandwidth and this from a site that has no banner ads and financial income. I really hope that this doesn't kill the site. I mean I want my site to be popular and well read but $1500 for a month of bandwidth damn!!! The most I have had to pay for bandwidth usage was 12 bucks. Scott Kurtz of PVP wrote about how Success can kill a web comic and it looks like blogs are not immune to the negative economics of popularity. But I am not complaining about bandwidth usage I am just glad that this site is read but doesn't cost me $1500 a month to run.
